Breaking the Silence has responded to the Knesset's first reading of the bill, which will give the education minister the authority to remove organizations that operate against the Israel Defense Forces from educational institutions.
The group claimed, "For a year and a half, [Education Minister Naftali] Bennett has been baffling with endless attempts to shut our mouths and prevent us from meeting youth. Those who are hurting the soldiers are politicians like Bennett. We recommend that he and his youth to get off the hills and begin to internalize: the only way to stop us is to end the occupation."
